Autumn Leaves

The Autumn Leaves bag is available in two shoulder strap styles. One has a tote-bag look with a brown faux leather handle set in the middle of the bag. There’s also a bag that they are calling North South with a up and down rectangular shape and an additional zipper down the side. Both are made in a khaki canvas with a brown applique.

The Wavy Canvas bags are made of a quilted canvas. They are fully lined and the shoulder straps are made of PVC in either an orange or a dark brown. It comes in a tote or a large or small hobo bag.

Luckily, there are tons of green options to choose from! In my eagerness, I put together this outfit to enjoy:

The boot is The Angelica Brown by Novacas. It is made out of vegan leather and runs 17″ from top to bottom, complete with a 3″ heel. A pair is $109.95 from Moo Shoes. They are also available in black.

The bag is a Double Braided Handle Vegan Leather Satchel (that’s a mouthful!) by Chinese Laundry. I love the roominess and the color! For those of you who live your bags to have a little less flava’, it also comes in black and there are several similar styles in a yummy chocolate brown.

It is made of pleather, so it’s not the greenest of bags (despite the color!). It is animal-free though. It’s $66.00 from Alternative Outfitters.

The skinny jeans are 99% organic cotton denim and 1%spandex by Del Forte. You can pick your pair up for $182.00 from BTC Elements. They also have black and white versions, too!

The Placket Tank by Ecoganik is another organic cotton creation. Ecoganik is a member of the Organic Trade Association, the OTA Fiber council committee, and the Co-op America Business Network. This pretty puppy is $68.00 from BTC Elements.

The cuff is an original handmade creation I found through Etsy. Made out of vintage silk ties by PetereneDesign, it’s a deal for $18.00.

I love this jacket so much that it’s the second time I featured it! Made of of eco-friendly linen, the shawl collar and tie belt make it classy, classy, classy. It was made by Grace & Cello. You can get it for $139.00 from the Greenloop.

Is it fall yet?

(This jacket is completely animal free!)

Vegan leathers include:

• Vegetan: This is a microfibre material that is specifically designed and used as an animal-friendly leather substitute.
• Lorica: This material is made out of several different microfibers. Sidi, an Italian motorcycle company uses it a lot.
• Birko-Flor: This is what eco-icon Birkenstock uses. It’s made out of acrylic and polyamide felt fibres. There are two kinds — the kind you find on normal Birks and a kind that looks like pleather.
• Birkibuc: Another Birkenstock baby. It’s made out of the same stuff, but looks and feels like nubuck leather.
• PVC: Finally, a term you should be familiar with! Good for animals. Not so good for environment.
• Kydex: This is an acrylic-PVC alloy. It’s produce by Kleerdex, a manufacturing company.

I hoped this helped! Also, remember that being animal-friendly does not necessarily mean you are being eco-friendly. Using old and recycled leather could be better for the environment than buying a brand spankin’ new vegan-friendly bag. It just depends on where your priorities lie and what you are comfortable with!

Consume with a conscience and you’ll be fine!
